In speaking of the insult offered the State of Iowa by a pair of petty officials in St. Louis in degrading a whole regiment for the suspected misdemeanors of a few, the Des Moines Register says – ‘In the name of the people of Polk county, we thank Senators Redfield and Hatch and Representative Mitchell, for their prompt vindication in the Legislature, of Company D, Second Iowa Regiment.’ In behalf of the people of Scott county we thank Senator Leake for his vindication in the Legislature of companies B and C, of this regiment of the brave sons of our state.
